Tax Reporter

: In this chapter, you set up tax reporting for your company. The SAP HR tax reporting process consists of three main steps: Tax Reporter preparation:

Evaluation of tax form wage types and storage of their amounts
Tax Reporter generation
Evaluation of the stored tax form wage type amounts
Output
Issuance of tax forms on either paper or magnetic media (tape or diskette)

In the first section of this chapter, you maintain a number range for the tax interface tables, define which tax company you will use to transmit your tax forms, and define personnel events for transferring employees in and out of Tax Reporter.

In the second section, you define your tax form groups. This involves defining which wage types (which can vary according to tax authority) are used for the various tax forms.

In the third section, you define your tax forms. This involves defining the reporting periods for which each wage type must be cumulated and output, and the tax authority to which the tax form must be submitted.
